Hi, has anyone was taken to the court by City Council for unpaid parking ticket?
For now I am dealing only with city council. There is no other company involved in that.Is it the council or their outsource company who is progressing case. Have you approached their solicitor.
The first time when i called and ask about the letter I received, they told me that they don't need to leave original ticket on the car - which I dont understand, because i wasnt aware i have got a ticket until two weeks later i received a formal reminder. I have made a complaint and they were waiting another two weeks with respond. In a meantime the time to pay has gone and they applied 50% increase to original fees. I have sent another letter asking for explanation why my appeal was unsuccessful. When you going to speak to someone in Galway City Council often there is no one responsible to talk to you. They avoiding contact with people from the outside.Usually the guy takes a photo of the front and rear of your car with the parking ticket on the windscreen. Have you requested that? Perhaps your original ticket blew away but the photo should clarify
After long conversation and visit in City Hall i received a photograph of the front of my car, no parking ticket on a windscreen. No indication of offence - as there where no lines showed on the photograph. It looked for me like someone was passing my car and took the fast pic. No date, no time and no street name on the photograph. they were very surprised that i request a photo in a first place, no explanation, nothing just simply - take us to court if you wish. I have wrote the last letter to them. Today is the last day when i should pay.Usually the guy takes a photo of the front and rear of your car with the parking ticket on the windscreen.
